Hey Dan. Thanks for these Beulah Bondi trivia lists. Good information as always. Her name was known to me, but I admit I was not too aware of her movies. Good trivia that she played Stewart’s mom on his short lived television show. Not a huge Oracle co-star list…but it has lots of legends on that list Wayne, Davis and James Stewart. Looking at the second list, 42 Oscar winning co-stars is above average. Lots of movies with Lionel Barrymore. Pretty surprised that Barrymore is not on the Top 1000 Oracle list. Good stuff!
I have seen 24 Beulah Bondi movies.
The HIGHEST rated film I have seen is Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
The highest rated movie I Have NOT seen is The Snake Pit.
The LOWEST rated movie I have seen is Latin Lovers.

Hey Flora. Thanks for the feedback on Beulah Bondi. Tally count…you easily take me out….24 for you and only 9 for me. I have only seen 2 of your favorites. It’s A Wonderful Life is one of my all-time favorite movies….though I have not seen it in a long time. I have seen 3 of your “other” movies seen. Somewhat surprised that Mr. Smith Goes To Washington is not on your favorites list. Good stuff as always.
Great UMR Page
Thank you Mike.
